Since they're killing the Ranger, I'd love to see Ford offer a "Ranchero-type" vehicle based off the Fusion, or even the Taurus. It would fill the gap for the folks who need some light weight hauling capacity (but not a full-blown F-150) and they could do all kinds of cool "retro things" with various versions of the vehicle that would appeal to enthusiasts. I'd buy one in a heart beat if it were offered.....

Ford australia has always done some innovative things. In 73 ford shipped the castings for the 351c down there and they produced some really cool Cleveland equipped cars up into the mid 80's The Mad Max car was a Cleveland powered car based on the mustang/torino. Most of them were 4doors though.

They've had one for quite some time now. They are very fast as well and quite good looking imo. Ford site Australia

Exactly -- tell me you couldn't do some awesome things with a rig like that to make it just a fun little vehicle to tool around in on the weekend! Creating a body to fit on the current U.S. version of the Fusion chassis would take very little engineering and would greatly expand Ford's market footprint for that vehicle while eating up minimal development costs!
